why am I getting a phishing warning when I try to open attachments?
When I go to open an attachment in Yahoo Mail I get a Warning about "this site being flagged as Phishing Site." It gives the option of Ignoring the Warning, Going Back, or Reporting an Error. It is apparently sponsored by Google? Unfortunately, none of the options actually let me download the attachment.
Yahoo is working on the site. Many people are having this problem. It is not your computer. Do not change any settings. This happened in July and Nov 2008.
The on-page buttons in Mail are not working properly. Yahoo knows about this. You will have to wait until they fix it.
Click on FORUM at the left side of the Yahoo Answers Home Page. Read the post ‘Problems going on with Mail" which explains everything we know so far.
